Gunfights, destruction, wits, and warmth

Rushing into the theater, the time can only catch up with this "Brave the Sixteenth Block". Looking at it, I feel like I haven't watched an American movie like this for a long time. Although the plot is not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple, but the director still created ups and downs. The plot will not be detailed, and there have been some introductions in other comments. When I saw it, I had four thoughts:
First, it’s just like the gunfights, car accidents, and bloodshed in American action movies, just so so~~
Second, some of the plots seem to have seen the shadow of “Prison Break”, shaping Bruce Willis' witty, intelligent image is quite appealing to modern audiences.
Third, there is a bit of warmth. Although action movies are often accompanied by some emotional rendering, this bit of warmth in this film is a bit unexpected, and it was a surprise.
Fourth, Bruce Willis' performance still needs to be affirmed. No matter how old or not, he still portrays the psychological changes of this depressed old policeman from numbness to sobriety, from cowardice to bravery.
people can be changed!
people can be changed?
anyway.
